Headless Angels, Take 2 |
LyricsHeadless Angels© 2011 Starburst/David Robinson (for Uncle Mark) In my backyard they fall so hard it happens day and night No earthly form sometimes they swarm to my graveyard of fright Oh worry dread they've lost their heads I must do something now What can I do what shall I do beyond just kneel and bow Sometimes they come into my house to share their breath of soul I'm unafraid they're just waylaid spirits who I know Adhesive glue and loving too the secrets of my trade Fallen angels everyone these new friends I have made (chorus) Headless angels everyone Caretaker of their dreams Promises now fallen short Though things aren't as they seem I'll nurse them back to heavens light My garden of good themes Headless angels everyone Caretaker of their dreams (bridge) What of these spirits in between Their presence in this place A gifted kiss upon my cheek To bless me with their grace (chorus) Headless angels everyone Caretaker of their dreams Promises now fallen short Though things aren't as they seem I'll nurse them back to heavens light My garden of good themes Headless angels everyone Caretaker of their dreams |
| Long Song Description: this is, quite literally, a story about little statues of angels falling off a second story balcony and breaking and the man living in the basement apartment below retrieving, repairing and caring for them. Observing the richness of the symbolism of this happening was too good an opportunity to pass up, so i scribbled out some thoughts and David Robinson used his amazing compositional, production and vocal talents to turn it into an appropriately eerie song. |
